What You've Become...

Your calls have grown more hectic Your greetings have become more dear Your conversations less memorable Your stories filled with fear Your smile less genuine Your serious side less coarse Your laughter less melodic Your lies less forced Your walks less enjoyed Your mind less focused Your heart beat less constant Your voice less noticed Your friends less caring Your family less there Your life less concerning Are you really even there? Your memories less present Your visits less frequent Your love less appreciated Your whole self less independent Your hate less weak Your touch less  strong Your singing less harmonious Your opinions more wrong Your house less tidy Your shoulders less tense Your mind more messy Your life full of stress I wish I could help you To hold you in my arms I wish I could provide you with an everlasting warmth But I know you won't listen That you'll just pull away And go back to living With your heart in disarray So with this poem I say good-bye To you and your dreams Because I can't keep pretending That you life isn't bursting at the seams

Notes

I wrote this poem after I literally heard the words in a dream. After the line 'Are you really even here?' I made  up the rest on the spot because I felt it was incomplete, so if it sounds a little unconnected or if it's not flowing tell me and I will definitely take it into account :)
